Says the seller: “This is one of only a few original Alpina B6/2.8 models in the US. Based on the BMW E21, with the ‘big six’ M30 engine & injection from the 528i installed by Alpina along with many other upgrades, it’s as fast & rare an ’80s car as you can find.”

How long have you had the car? The current owner has had the car for over a decade.

Describe the body condition: The body is free of any dents or visible rust. The clear coat was failing on the horizontal surfaces, so those surfaces only were repainted in Oct. The rest of the car still has the original paint, inside and out, which on some panels shows faint scratching or crazing.

Describe the mechanical condition: The mechanical condition is very good. The car has recently undergone a thorough inspection, servicing, and replacement of worn parts as necessary. Everything works except the A/C, due to a leaking condenser.

Included documentation: All import documents necessary to register the car in any state, including exemptions from both the DOT & EPA. Copies of period press & road tests.

What makes this car special? The wide-striped velour interior in such good condition (w/rare A.S.S. seats), the big six engine in such a light body, the 5-speed close-ratio trans, the LSD w/cooling fins, the rare A/C, the very low miles, the extended-range fuel tank, and the wheels, spoilers, stripes, etc. that make an Alpina.
